Abstract:

The generation of millimeter wave radiation (80–180 GHz) caused by the interaction of a rotating electron ring (2 MV, 1.4–3.6 kA, 5 ns) with an azimuthally periodic wiggler magnetic field has been studied experimentally and theoretically, and by computer simulations. Narrow band radiation is observed at power levels exceeding several megawatts.
